Web FeedsLopez Cuts A Figure On Dance Floor
Jennifer Lopez is to produce and co-star in a feature based on the life of salsa legend Hector Lavoe.
Salsa star Marc Anthony is poised to star as Lavoe himself.
Anthony acquired the rights to the story from the musician's widow, Nilda Roman Perez, who will be portrayed by Lopez.

Lavoe died in 1993 at the age of 43.
Known as salsa's bad boy, he had a crystal-clear voice and a big talent for improvisation.
Drug addiction
Lavoe's dramatic and difficult life included a childhood marked by poverty, a lifelong struggle with drug addiction and depression.
He also had a passionate but difficult marriage.
Anthony and Lopez previously collaborated for the song No Me Ames on her multi-platinum album On the 6.
Grammy-winning singer Anthony has also appeared in the films Bringing Out the Dead, Hackers, Big Night and The Substitute.
Production on the film is scheduled to start later this year.
